Go the main website:

At the bottom is a Google search box. Enter your search string:
V8 intermittent wiper relay

You'll find these:

It replaces your standard relay. To work it, I believe that when the wipers
are working, you "click" at the interval you want, and it is intermittent
after that.  I may have the details wrong, but I'm pretty sure that relay
is a one-size-fits-all for older Audis.
